At that time, I joined Operation Smile just to satisfy(满足)my school's service requirement.After working in Operation Smile for a while9 I learned that different countries have different deformities (畸形). The more I learned about what affected kids around the world, the more I wanted to go abroad with Operation Smile.At 15, I was chosen to go abroad. I was so happy even though I didn't realize what I was getting myself into. Before my trip, I attended a weekend training. That was the time when I was told I'd be going to the Philippines. Though I was excited, one night during the training, I broke down in tears (眼泪). I didn't know if I was prepared to see all these unlucky kids.I was put to work three days after my arrival in the Philippines. My first day was at the hospital, where I met those kids waiting for the operation, and they were running around happily. My job was to play with them before their operation to help them feel more relaxed.When the operation was over, they were very happy, and their parents were really surprised. Sometimes they couldn't even recognize(认出) their kids because their appearance had improved so much. They'd cry and hug(拥抱) us and give us some presents -they were so grateful.( )46. The writer wanted to go abroad with Operation Smile _______.A. as soon as he joined it in his schoolB. after he learned more about those unlucky kidsC. to satisfy his school's service requirementD. to operate on those unlucky kids( )47. Why did the writer play with those kids in hospital?A. To make them feel relaxed before the operation.B. To learn more about them.C. To teach them how to solve the problem.D. To encourage them to wait patiently.( )48. From the passage, we can know that _______.A. the writer was not ready to see those u lucky kidsB. some parents were very angry about the result of the operationC. those kids were happy after they had the operationD. the writer received training after he arrived in the PhilippinesBWhat will the house of the future look like? Could it have gardens on its walls, or a pool with fish for dinner? Architects(建筑师) think that they are all possible. The only thing for sure is that the houses will be as green as possible.The tree houseMany architects in the world would like to build a "tree house". Like a leaf, the surface of the house collects sunlight during the day. The energy can be used to heat water, produce electricity, and even create fresh air for the home. The "root (根)" of the house is deep under theground. It uses the soil (土壤) to control the home's temperature.The lizard (蜥蜴) houseLike a lizard, changing color with the weather is the most important design of a lizard house. When it's in the bright sun, the cover of the house will turn dark to protect it from strong heat. During dark days, it turns white and takes in as much light and heat as possible to produce energy.Meals at homeThis design is perhaps as much about the future of producing food as architecture (建筑风格). It has gardens on the outside wall of the house. People can plant tomatoes, carrots and green tea on them. So every day in the morning, you just need to walk outside and collect your meals.Learning from the pastLooking to the future isn't the only way to be green. Sometimes, old architecture can also help cut down energy use. For example, a chimney (烟囱) can be a useful air conditioner (空调) because it is easier for hot air to flow out of the chimney.( )49. What is the best title of the passage?A. Green Houses of the FutureB. The Greener, the BetterC. How to Build Green HousesD. Changes of the Houses( )50. The passage seems to tell us that meals at home in the future _______.A. will be more deliciousB. need more cooksC. cost as much as possibleD. will be greener( )51. A chimney can be a useful air conditioner but it used to cause _______.A. pollutionB. accidentsC. noiseD. windsCWe parents like to make sure that our children are eating well and getting all the nutrients(营养)they need. Children need two or three kinds of vegetables every day.A simple way to get children to eat vegetables is eating them ourselves. Following our habit, they may start eating vegetables. Don't say things like, 6'if you eat your vegetables, you can have desserts. " These methods work for a little while but can possibly lead them to hate vegetables more. Giving your children new varieties (多样性) will help her or him develop a taste for trying new things.Sometimes the simple things just don't work. We have to start becoming a little creative when it comes to making our children eat these vegetables. By doing this in the beginning when they are small, it will hopefully help them learn to love vegetables.Think of creative ways to make children eat vegetables. For example, cut up vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, and assemble (集合) them in a creative way on a plate for an afternoon snack. Or try using cheese sauce(酱)either by dipping(浸)vegetables in it or by putting the cheese right on top of the uncooked vegetables.If you prefer, you can also add a spoon(勺) of sugar on top of cooked green beans and peas to give them a little sweeter taste. Doing this shouldn't lead to a sweet tooth as long as you onlygive them a small amount.If you have a child that refuses to eat vegetables, some of these suggestions I've listed will help to turn that around. In the end, you're not just getting them to eat vegetables, you are helping them to live a healthier life.( )52. According to the text, all the following ways to get children to eat vegetables are creative EXCEPT_______.A. making vegetables much sweeterB. putting cheese on top of vegetablesC. preparing carrots in an attractive wayD. adding some cheese sauce to vegetables( )53. If you want your children to develop the habit of eating vegetables, you should_______.A. be very patient to themB. set an example to themC. give dessert to them as an awardD. cut vegetables into different types( )54. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Children need to eat vegetables every day.B. Parents should help children live a healthy life.C. Sugar can make children keep a healthy lifestyle.D. It is necessary to think of creative ways to make children eat vegetables.( )55. The best title of this passage would probably be "_______".A. Vegetables Are Important for ChildrenB. Few Children Like Eating VegetablesC. Different Kinds of Vegetables for ChildrenD.
